1. Unit 9: Future Tense Notes 9.1

2. Learning Goals: By the end of the lesson students will be able to: 1.Understand the concept of future tense. 2.Recognize future tense verbs in Latin and English. 3.Create the future tense in Latin for 1 st and 2 nd conjugation verbs. 4.Translate words, phrases and sentences using future tense.

3. Do you remember…? Tense, as it relates to verbs, refers to the time of a verb’s action or being. Present tense indicates an action happening now. Imperfect tense indicates a past action that was repeated, habitual, continuous, or customary. Verbs are organized into 5 groups called conjugations which are determined by their 2 nd principal parts: -are = 1 st -ēre = 2 nd -ere = 3 rd -ere + -io on the 1 st p. part = 3 rd –io -ire = 4 th

4. Future Tense: This one is really easy and kind of fun! We’ve been spending quite a bit of time with nouns, so now it’s time to remember that verbs still exist! The future tense indicates an action that has not happened yet.

5. What does it look like? In English we use the helping words “will” or “shall.” “Shall” is definitely old fashioned, but it is still used today, especially in legal documents, so you should know how to use it. “Shall” is used for 1 st person (I and we), while “will” is used in 2 nd and 3 rd persons (you, he, she, it, and they). I shall do it by noon today. He will do it by noon today. These are reversed when a speaker is being emphatic: If a speaker wants to show emphasis, “will” is used for 1 st person while “shall” is used for 2 nd and 3 rd persons. I will do it by noon today. He shall do it by noon today.

6. And in Latin? To form the future tense for verbs that are 1 st or 2 nd conjugation follow this rule: Does this sound familiar? This is the same as the rule for present and imperfect tenses. The endings: 2 nd p. part /drop the –re /add the endings -bo -bis -bit -bimus -bitis -bunt

7. Example: amo, -are, -avi, -atus – like, love amabo – I shall love amabis – you will love amabit – he/she/it will love amabimus – we shall love amabitis – you will love amabunt – they will love

8. Example: habeo, -ēre, -ui, -itus – have habebo – I shall have habebis – you will have habebit – he/she/it will have habebimus – we shall have habebitis – you will have habebunt – they will have

9. Now you try! Translate these sentences. 1.Puella donum amicae donabit. The girl will give a gift to (her) friend. 2.Magistri discipulos in atriō docebunt. The teachers will teach the students in the atrium. 3.Reginam e regnō removebimus. We shall remove the queen from the kingdom. 4.Discipuli, multas fabulas de Romā antiquā narrabo. Students, I shall tell many stories about ancient Rome.

10. The Verb Synopsis You probably already know the word synopsis means a brief summary. You probably have used this word in the context of English class to mean a brief summary of a story. This word can be used in the context of a verb as well to mean a brief summary of the tenses of a verb. Instead of conjugating – where you give the verb in all its persons, a synopsis is the verb in only one person. It saves quite a bit of time, but still ensures that you understand the verb completely.

11. This is called a Verb Chart. I’ll supply the verb (verbum) and specify a person number (p/n). You fill in the rest! You don’t know these tenses yet, so just leave them blank. This verb chart is available for you to download from my website and will be necessary for homework. Click on the link called “paradigms chart.” website amo, -are, -avi, -atus – like, love 3 rd singular amat – he/she/it loves amabit – he/she/it will love amabat – he/she/it was loving amare – to love

12. Let’s see one in a different person and number. habeo, -ēre, -ui, -itus - have 1 st plural habemus – we have habebimus– we shall have habebamus – we were having habēre – to have
